In 1997, the two brothers went their separate ways. Stevie went ahead to become a trusted member of the infamous nWo, while Booker became a breakout singles star, capturing the WCW Television Title on several occasions.

After almost two years, Booker T & Stevie Ray reunited. They returned to a vastly different tag team landscape in WCW. However, Harlem Heat hadn’t lost a step, as they defeated The Jersey Triad to win their eighth WCW Tag Team Titles at Road Wild 1999. Before the turn of the millennium, they added two more reigns as champions to their incredible résumé. By this, they had set a WCW record that would not be broken before the company was purchased by WWE in 2001.

The brothers never competed as a team inside a WWE ring, there’s no denying their pure dominance of tag-team wrestling during The Monday Night War. That’s the reason why Harlem Heat is being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
